The Spring of Smears – Unfortunately, Part 1
At Instapundit, Althouse quotes Hoyt, the NY Times “public editor,” on the now infamous (but at least usefully fund-raising) investigation of McCain . Keller defends the story “about a man nearly felled by scandal who rebuilt himself as a fighter against corruption but is still ‘careless about appearances, careless about his reputation, and that’s a pretty important thing to know about somebody who wants to be president of the United States.'”
Of course, we might question the paper’s carelessness about “appearances” and, indeed, its “reputation.” The defense seems to be that the nonexistent “sex” scandal was not important; the role of lobbyists and the earlier scandal were. Such innocence on the part of the paper, such dirty mindedness on the part of its readers! Ah, if we were only as serious as they.
